Opportunity Information: Apply for USGS 18 FA 0038
The opportunity titled "Long-Term Monitoring of Sediment in the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park" is a United States Geological Survey (USGS) Notice of Intent to Award, issued by the Department of the Interior. The key point is that this announcement is not a request for applications and is not being competed openly. Instead, it serves as a public notice that USGS intends to fund a specific set of project activities through a non-competitive process, meaning the agency has already identified the intended recipient or recipient type and is proceeding without full and open competition.
Administratively, the listing appears on Grants.gov under Funding Opportunity Number USGS 18 FA 0038 and is categorized under an "Other" opportunity type, with the funding instrument listed as a Cooperative Agreement. A cooperative agreement typically indicates that the federal agency expects to have substantial involvement in the funded work, such as collaboration on study design, data collection approaches, analysis, reporting, or coordination with other federal monitoring efforts. The program is associated with CFDA number 15.808, which corresponds to USGS activities and assistance.
Financially, the notice indicates an award ceiling of $442,000 and anticipates one award, which reinforces that the funding is intended for a single, specific project arrangement rather than multiple competitive awards. The posting dates show a creation date of April 3, 2018 and an original closing date of April 16, 2018. In the context of a Notice of Intent to Award, that "closing date" functions more like an administrative window for the public posting rather than a deadline for submitting proposals, since proposals are not being solicited.
In terms of purpose, the project focus is long-term monitoring of sediment in the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park. While the notice text itself does not provide technical scope details, the title indicates work related to tracking sediment movement, storage, and related river conditions over time within the Grand Canyon reach. Long-term sediment monitoring in this setting is generally important for understanding river geomorphology, sandbar formation and maintenance, habitat conditions, and the effects of river operations and hydrologic variability. Because it is framed as a monitoring effort, the work implied by the title often includes repeated measurements over multiple seasons or years, consistent methods to detect trends, and data products that support resource management decisions.
Eligibility is listed broadly as "Others," with a note directing readers to an additional eligibility clarification field, but because this is not an open competition, the practical takeaway is that the notice is informational rather than an invitation for new applicants. The announcement also directs readers to the "Related Documents" section on the Grants.gov posting for complete details about the intent-to-award, and points to the general Grants.gov support resources for navigation or general grants guidance, even though this particular notice is not soliciting applications.Apply for USGS 18 FA 0038
